Google announced today the Canadian launch of its music streaming service Google Play Music, with an introductory price of $7.99 a month for a subscription that lets listeners access their own music collections on any device as well as more than 25 million songs in Google Play.

The new service, which has a 30-day free trial with a launch price of $7.99 to climb to $9.99 a month for users who sign up after June 30, could significantly shake up Canada’s digital music market that so far has had limited offerings compared to the United States, Europe and other countries.

The arrival of Google’s music streaming service comes three years after Google first launched its music service in the U.S. and close to a year after it expanded with its subscription all access streaming music service.

The new service in Canada also lets users create their own radio stations around their favourite artists or songs and it has an “I’m Feeling Lucky Radio” option that will create song mixes for you.

Like Rdio, a music subscription service in Canada that was among the first to launch here while others like Spotify and Pandora remain off limits in this country, Google Play Music also lets subscribers access the music while they’re offline, by saving albums or playlists to their computer, smartphone or tablet.

Unlike Rdio, Google Play Music also lets subscribers store up to 20,000 songs in their own music collections online, and mix their own music in playlists with music from Google’s collection.

Google Play Music also lets you buy songs and albums, making the new streaming music service a formidable contender in the Canadian digital music market dominated by iTunes and other smaller players.
